THE sexy French nanny that bisexual magazine editor Neal Boulton once employed to mind his two kids is quietly living in his spare apartment amid rumors the handsome journo, who recently reconciled with his wife, is bedding her.

But Boulton – who famously made out with his onetime boss Jann Wenner when he edited Men’s Fitness – says the scurrilous talk is the dirty work of disgruntled gays, some angry about his AC/DC lifestyle and others furious about his revamping of HX, a gay lifestyle publication.

“I do think I have annoyed gay folks, even though I have been riskily honest about all of my proclivities, including women,” Boulton, now editor of Genre, told Page Six.

“And I was recently hired as a consultant to re-launch HX, a small free bar magazine, which shares Genre offices. I made major changes there and believe I may have p-ed off some HX people because their spies saw me out with her.”

The nanny recently moved into Boulton’s Wall Street digs, where he had lived after splitting from his wife, Claire, last year. They reconciled in January and he moved back into their Brooklyn townhouse.

Genre and HX staffers are buzzing that Boulton often works out of the Wall Street pad, “where [he and the nanny] carry on,” said a source. “Neal is a heel and an over-the-top cad. Claire, boot the bastard.”

Nonsense, Boulton insists. “The truth [is], yes, she is living in my old place. Yes, Claire is aware of this . . . But despite what many think, I never had a relationship with her of any kind. If I had, I’d have bragged about it . . . She’s categorically very hot, very French and very cool. And I know folks saw us out a couple of times at Cipriani . . . and yes, we were cozy, and friendly – but we are not, and were not, lovers.

“Hey, but so what if I had been seeing her? Folks tend to forget there is a ‘B’ in LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] – a ‘B’ that I blatantly acknowledged in my first editor’s letter [in Genre]. In general I don’t care who I p- off. Claire has my back and my life is amazing.

“I have been very open about my . . . very David Bowie life. I have said that I don’t think there are enough numbers on the Kinsey scale to define my sexuality.”
